Should you invest in Chepstow?
Opportunities
- The top postcode district offers a rental yield of 4.5%, which stands out in the local market for investors looking for income.
- Three-year capital growth of 21.1% (annualised at 6.6%) indicates that the area has performed well over the medium term.
- With a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), investors have some negotiating power on purchase prices.
Risks
- The most recent year has seen capital values change by -0.5%, so price momentum has slowed compared to the previous three years.
- Rental yields, while steady at 3.8%, may not be high enough to attract those seeking strong cash flow.
- The population is older than average, which could temper future demand for family or student lets.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Chepstow’s property market appears stable, though not primed for rapid growth over the next year. The combination of a high owner-occupier rate and a large older population suggests gradual change rather than sudden shifts in demand.
Given the three-year capital growth of 21.1% and the current price-to-income ratio of 5.8, the area looks set to remain attractive for buyers seeking long-term value and affordability. Investors should expect steady, rather than spectacular, returns, with the local rental market underpinned by reasonable rent-to-income levels of 23.4%. Overall, Chepstow offers a balanced profile for those who value stability and measured growth.
